<div>[[Image:Criticism-of-Religion.jpg|thumb|Criticism of Religions is Not Free Speech]]<br />
'''Intolerance''' (opposite of [[tolerance]]) is a refusal to allow other people to express their opinions or to practice their religion. <br />
<br />
In [[totalitarian]] countries, the government forcibly suppresses all views which oppose government policy or ideology. <br />
[[Communist]] countries deny the [[freedom of religion]] as well. <br />
Other forms of [[dictatorship]]s permit religious freedom, but are intolerant of any criticism of the government. <br />
<br />
Intolerance is also a root of some "[[hate speech]]" rules and laws. Various special interest groups have gotten companies, schools and governments to define any criticism of their group activities as "motivated by hate". Corretta Scott King views homosexual activity the same as an opinion or the practice of religion as the following quote illustrates:<br />
<br />
*"[[Homophobia]] is like [[racism]] and [[anti-Semitism]] and other forms of [[bigotry]] in that it seeks to dehumanize a large group of people, to deny their humanity, their dignity and personhood." <ref> [http://www.equal-marriage.ca/resource.php?id=317 Coretta Scott King, 1998] </ref><br />
<br />
The error in this argument is obvious. Telling someone about a warning in the Bible is doing them a favor, not expressing hatred toward them. When a teacher instructs a pupil not to steal from others, not to assault them or tease them, these instructions are for the child's benefit. Similarly, informing homosexuals of the supposed sin they are committing is one sides freedom of speech - a homosexual reacting by insulting ones religious beliefs is his/her side's freedom of speech. Freedom of speech works both ways. So by this logic it is also completly fair to discriminate against people of other religions. As in the bible God says "worship no other Gods before me" informing people of other religions that there religion is wrong and that they are hellbound is OK.<br />
